Chapter Forty-Eight: The Civil and Military Waters of Eastern Wu

"Master Hou, everything is ready, we can set off." When Xu Shu was preparing a gift for Sun Quan, he came to Lu Rui's room to call Lu Rui. In order to envoy to Eastern Wu, Lu Rui recruited Xu Shu from Fan County.

"Yuan Zhi, have you prepared everything that should be prepared?"

"Yes, Master Hou!"

"Alright, let's go." LΓΌ Rui and Cao Chong, as Cao Cao's envoys, went to the Marquis Wu's mansion to meet Sun Quan.

"Ziheng is here so early?" As soon as he came out of Ganlu Temple, Lu Fan had already waited for Lu Rui at the gate of the temple with a group of guards.

"Hou Ye said with a smile, Wu Hou is waiting in the mansion to summon Hou Ye, and ask Hou Ye and Cao Gongzi to go to Wu Hou Mansion with me."

"There is Lao Ziheng."

"Master Hou, please!"

Soon, Lu Rui and Cao Chong came to Wuhou Mansion.

"Lord Hou, the lord and Jiangdong Wenwu are waiting for Lord Hou in the palace."

"Qihou Lu Rui is here!"

"Qi Hou Lu Rui has seen Wu Hou!" Lu Rui stood on the main hall and arched his hand to Sun Quan, indicating that he had saluted. Lu Rui is the marquis, Sun Quan is also the marquis, everyone is a marquis, and there is no need to be a monarch and a minister.

"It turns out that the messenger of Lord Sikong is a person who does not know the number of etiquette."

"Oh? I don't know who this gentleman is? "There's a man to find fault with!

"I've seen Master Hou in Xiajiangdong Buqi!"

Damn, it turned out to be a small step!

"I don't know why Mr. Bu said that the messenger of Lord Sikong doesn't know the number of etiquette?"

"Lord Hou is the messenger of Lord Sikong, why don't you give the courtesy of the monarch when you see my lord?" Bu Qi arched his hand and questioned Lu Rui.

"Jiangdong is not the world of the Han Dynasty, and this marquis is the marquis of the Han Dynasty. Why do you want to pay the courtesy of Wu Hou? ”

"Master Hou's words are wrong. Jiangdong is the land of the Han Dynasty. But Hou Ye, as the messenger of Lord Sikong, came to Jiangdong and should be a guest, how can there be a reason to oppose the guest? ”

"I don't know who Mr. is?"

"In the lower Jiangdong Zhuge Jin!"

"It turned out to be Mr. Zhuge ?" The tiger of the Zhuge family? Another one looking for trouble!

"Mr. Zhuge , I heard that the Zhuge family is a big family in Shandong, why did you come to Jiangdong? Mr. Zhuge is the lord of Jiangdong, it's a little ridiculous! ”

"Master Hou is really smart, I admire him."

"Although the Hou Ye is the Hou Ye of the Han Dynasty. But our lord is not as good as the weak crown and is in charge of the military and political affairs of Jiangdong, sitting on one side, and the strong deserve the gift of the weak. ”

"I've seen Master Hou in Kanze, East of the Lower River!" A literati stood up and arched his hand to Lu Rui.

"What Mr. Kan said is reasonable, the strong deserve to be treated by the weak."

"This marquis was less than five years old and was named the Marquis of Qi, and the fief was Fan County. I don't know if Wu Hou ever learned to speak when he was five years old? ”

"This Hou Ye is the captain of the school, and Wu Hou is just the pastor of Yangzhou, whose official position is great? That being the case, please ask Wu Hou to salute this marquis! Lu Rui arched his hand and made a gesture of please.

Hear Lu Rui's words. Jiangdong civil and military forces were displeased. A young scribe stopped his feather fan and stopped the civil and military forces above the main hall.

Sun Quan, who was on the throne, was stunned for a moment. An angry expression appeared, but it quickly disappeared. All this was taken into Lu Rui's eyes.

"Zhao heard that Hou Ye has been smart since he was a child, and when he saw it today, Hou Ye really lived up to his reputation. My Han rules the world with filial piety, and according to the age of my lord, the eldest marquis is a few years old, and he is also a young hero. Should Master Hou salute his brother? ”

Lu Rui looked at the scribe who spoke, this scribe is relatively old, and standing in the first place, it should be Zhang Zhao, one of the two!

"I wonder if Wu Hou is willing to recognize me as a younger brother?" Lu Rui glanced at Sun Quan.

"Qi Hou wants to recognize Ben Hou as a brother, how can he not recognize him as a brother?" Sun Quan sat on the throne and laughed.

"Little brother see brother!" Lu Rui gave a salute to Sun Quan, but it was only a brotherly gift, and he didn't bend his waist in general, but just nodded his head.

"Brother Xian doesn't have to be polite, give me a seat!" Sun Quan knew that he had to rely on Cao Cao now, and he couldn't lose too much of Lu Rui's face, and the ministers could make trouble. If you sing blackface, I, Sun Quan, will sing redface.

"Brother Xie!"

"Hahahahaha! It's so funny! As soon as Lu Rui sat down, Cao Chong burst out laughing and rolled over the hall.

Jiangdong Wenwu was stunned, what is going on? Why is a child laughing so freely here?

"Ignorant child! Who are you? Laughing here? Bu Qi walked out and scolded Cao Chong.

"Why am I laughing? Good question! ”

"I just watched a human-monkey fight, so I laughed!"

"Boy, what do you say!" An unknown scribe stood up and pointed at Cao Chong.

"Isn't it a human-monkey war?"

"As soon as my brother Rui entered the main hall just now, there was a group of monkeys chirping and screaming. It's a smile! ”

The monkey chirped and screamed without the permission of his master, but the master ignored him. This is two laughs! ”

"My brother Rui debated affairs with a group of monkeys like playing a harp to a cow. These are three laughs! ”

After Cao Chong finished speaking, he held his stomach and laughed again.

"You!" When Jiangdong Wenwu heard Cao Chong's words, they were all indignant and glared angrily. But Cao Chong's words reminded them, and they were just unhappy and didn't refute it.

The owner didn't speak, and the monkey came? The lord of Jiangdong is Sun Quan, Sun Quan didn't say anything, what are you barking about? There is no such thing as a courtier's gift!

Lu Rui looked at Jiangdong Wenwu's appearance and smiled, most of them are not worried, only a few have not reacted so far, those few are the ones who are difficult to handle!

"Brother Xian, I don't know who this child is?" Sun Quan couldn't help but be silent, Cao Chong's words directly pulled Sun Quan out, he was the master, and the master was going to come forward.

"Brother, I'm sorry, this is the youngest son of Lord Sikong, Cao Chong! Since childhood, he has been spoiled by Lord Sikong. My brother can't help it, please forgive me. Lu Rui arched his hand and introduced Cao Chong to Sun Quan. It turned out to be the deputy envoy, but I didn't expect Lord Sikong to have such a proud son, he was a deputy envoy at a young age, and his future is limitless. Sun Quan praised Cao Chong, after all, it was Lao Cao's son.

"Is there no one in the imperial court to send? He actually sent a child to my Jiangdong. Kan Ze stood up again and aimed at Cao Chong.

"There are a lot of people who can be sent by the imperial court, and Chong is the most poor, so he came to Jiangdong." Cao Chong stopped sneering, arched his hand, and saluted Kan Ze.

"This?" Jiangdong Wenwu was stunned, everyone expected Cao Chong's various reactions, but this was not expected, is this still a child? Nothing short of genius!

"Fan Qiyu, the prince of Chong is talented and intelligent, and he has solved the problem that my Jiangdong civil and military forces can't solve in Xudu, and weighed the weight of the elephant." Then Lu Fan told Cao Chong about the elephant.

"I didn't expect that my unsolved problem in Jiangdong was actually solved by the son of Lord Sikong, and he is still a child, how handsome the north is, my Jiangdong is rude." Sun Quan glared at Wenwu fiercely, I originally asked you to get off the horse, but now you are embarrassed, and you were put on a five-year-old child's side, it's too embarrassing!

The shouting civil and military forces in Jiangdong all shrank their heads and retreated. It's not interesting to compete with children, even if you win, you'll lose face, what kind of ability is it to win against children?

"Brother Xian, this time I came to Jiangdong, Brother Xian should live for a little longer, so that my brother can enter the friendship of the landlord."

"The younger brother will definitely stay a little longer. Regarding the details of the marriage between the daughter of the Sun family and the male of the Cao family, the younger brother still has to discuss with the elder brother. ”

"Okay, since that's the case, come here, go to the banquet, and I'll pick up the wind and wash the dust for the virtuous brother!"

"Slow! Wu Hou, Chong and the holy decree were not read. ”

"Oh?" Sun Quan was stunned for a moment, it was not the messenger sent by Cao Cao, why did he still bring the holy decree.

"Sun Quan takes the order!" A eunuch beside Cao Chong shouted, this voice is familiar to everyone, the eunuch rooster crows!

"The minister's grandson is ordered!" Sun Quan glared at Lu Fan, how could he not know about this matter?

Lu Fan was also stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Lu Rui to come and let Sun Quan kneel as His Royal Highness, which would make Jiangdong have no face!

"Sun Quan." Soon the eunuch read out the holy decree, to the effect that Sun Quan was very good in Jiangdong, and added a fief to Sun Quan, and at the same time changed Sun Quan to Yuzhang Taishou and Zhennan General.

"The minister takes the order!" Sun Quan bowed to the north and took over the holy decree.

The civil and military capitals of Jiangdong bowed to the north to express their acceptance. Lu Rui slowly observed Jiangdong Wenwu on the side, and a few people showed a very pious appearance, and the rest showed disdain. It seems that there are not many people in Jiangdong who respect Han, so this opportunity has come! (To be continued......)
